[QUOTE="Evans Electric, post: 462024, member: 1408"] Just to second what the other guys have said . Neon screwdrivers and voltsticks ( Non-contact tester) have their uses like everything BUT ...for safe isolation you need a set of electrician's testers . The general idea is to stick the tester across a known live supply ....to check the tester is functioning ......... then across the incoming supply in the boiler ...turn the spur OFF , remove the fuse ..or..pull the plug out if it has one ....test again , should be Brown Bread .
